Re: Talk about your troubles

It was a year ago yesterday that Critter died, and I still miss her. Last night I looked at pictures of her on my phone and then today I went to her grave and did a little clearing and visiting.

Oh man, I know this one. Mona went to the Rainbow Bridge in Jan 2007 and there are sometimes I just miss her immensely, even though I have Joey around me. I am so glad I have Mona here in her container and that I have pictures of her.

I know how you feel Shaybo, it was about this time last year when my little Lucius began to get really ill. And two of my other dogs died in the fall as well, this time of year has some not so great memories/associations. I hope visiting her grave made you feel a little closer to Critter for a while.

Re: Talk about your troubles

I got really exasperated with Waldo because he was in the way AGAIN and I couldn't think of his name and ended up stuttering out: "get out of my way WALMART!" My husband inhaled beer through his noes.

So nah, I'm not stressed, I can't remember my dogs name.

Thanks all for the encouragement. I'm feeling a bit better tonight. We measured the new house for blinds and my husband actually accomplished a LOT to day while I was at work towards the move.

Shay, I am always preaching about breaking all jobs down into smaller jobs so they don't look so large and you feel some accomplishment when done. I need to listen to my own advice.

But thanks everyone. I know once the move is over, I will be a lot more relaxed and hopefully the bladder stuff will go away soon.
I haven't had any anxiety in ages (heck, I've given TWO public speeches in the last 2 months and didn't get nervous over either one, so why the anxiety now?)

We used to have a similar problem coming up with the dog's name at random points-- except that we'd replace the dog's name with my younger sister's, and on occasion, trying to call for my sister, we'd call her by the dog's name. No wonder the dog thought she fell between me and my sister on the "food chain."

Walmart, though, that's hilarious--I could see how it would be hard to get around Walmart

I agree with you. Just a few minutes of that therapy is usually enough to restore my lungs to their proper breathing behavior, and while I will have a small headache for a while, after the adrenaline rush is over I can carry on with what I need to do in a remarkably rational manner.
